Guests at the hotel have been left unattended since mid-afternoon. Guests complained to a North Coast Times reporter that workers at the bar and at the jerk centre walked off and told them they didn’t know when they would be coming back.

Meanwhile, the hotel’s management is trying to end the strike. However, workers have turned down a new wage offer made this evening. The North Coast Times was told that earlier this evening workers rejected an increase of up to 15 percent.
